Forbidden Love (A Narnia Love Story)

Paternal Grandparents' Deaths

~The next morning~

Several hours went by, the bombings stopped. The Pevensies, the Jamesons and Bingo came out of their shelters.

"Peter!" Dawn said as she spotted her boyfriend. "Thank goodness you're alive!" Peter smiled at her. "You too." He replied. "You scared me when you rushed back in your house by the way." She added. "I'm sorry..." Peter sighed.

"Well, I'm glad you're alright." Dawn nodded. Then, Susan, Edmund and Lucy came over to Dawn. Lucy smiled and gave Dawn a hug. "Dawny!" She yelped. "Lucy, Susan!" Dawn wrapped her arms around the Pevensie sisters. "You're alive!" Lucy said. Susan smiled. "Oh thank goodness." She sighed in relief. Edmund hung back. Dawn looked towards Edmund. "Ed?"

Edmund was looking at the picture of his father in his hand. "Edmund, what's wrong?" She asked sadly. Edmund looked up at her. "I miss him...." He said sadly.

"Your father?" Dawn guessed. Edmund nodded yes. Dawn nodded back. "I miss mine too." Edmund nodded again. Jane also joined the Pevensie siblings. Jane smiled at them. "Hi." She greeted. Susan placed her hand on Jane's shoulder. "Are you alright?" She asked. Jane nodded. "Yeah..." She answered.

"Good." Susan smiled. Jane hugged Susan and she hugged her in return. Daniel comes outside carrying Bingo and sees them. "Dawnnnnnn! You know you can't be around themmmmmm." He called out.

"I knoowww." Dawn groaned. "Jane and I are just making sure they're alright."

Daniel snorted. "Yeah, right." He scoffed. Dawn scoffed back and rolled her eyes as she looked away from her brother. Daniel went back inside the house.

"Dawn." Penelope called to her daughters from the house. "We need to go find some survivors now. Let's get into the car." "I have to go." Dawn said. "I need to go help survivors in the town."

Peter nodded. "Okay." He gave her a hug. Dawn hugged her boyfriend back and they got into the car. Daniel got out and followed his sisters into their car. The Jamesons started the engine and drove off from their house. As they were driving across Finchley, Dawn saw the familiar looking house that has been destroyed. Jane raised an eyebrow. "Mum?" She said. "Can we stop?"

"What is it, Jane?" Penelope asked. "What's wrong?" Daniel said nervously. Jane pointed to the house. Penelope gasped. "Oh dear.."

Daniel looked. "Isn't that..." Jane nodded.

"Grandpa Paul and Grandma Anne..!" Dawn said with a gasp. The Jamesons stopped their car. The children and their mother got out and headed towards their paternal grandparents' neighbourhood. Some parts of the road were damaged by the bomb. They saw some neighbours crowding something in a circle and pushed their way. And they saw two figures lying near the sidewalk and couldn't believe their eyes. They were their grandparents. Jane gasped. "OH MY!!!!!" She cried out. Dawn screamed in horror. She knelt down and pulled her grandmother to her lap.

"Grandma, what wrong?" Dawn begged as she was close to tears. "Please, grandma wake up! Oh my God, why aren't you waking?!" She cried hysterically. No answer. Penelope went next to her daughter, crying. Daniel, who was also in shock, rushed to Grandpa Paul's body. "Grandpa, please wake up! Wake up! Please stop! Wake up!" He cried, shaking his body. Daniel turned his grandfather's body to face him. His eyes were open but the life was gone. Jane bit her lip. "Oh...no, no, no...." People that surrounded them just watched. Some were in shock and motionless while some cried. They had the loss of what to do. Penelope stood there crying. "It's all my fault!" Dawn sobbed. "If only we could've came here to help them, this wouldn't be happened!" Jane rubbed her back. "No...It's not just your fault. It's all ours."

Dawn kept cradling her grandmothers body in her arms, crying hysterically. Penelope fell to the ground in a faint. "Mum!" Jane cried as she got her mother. Daniel bit his lip. "Oh no!" He said. One of the ladies tried to wake Penelope up to get her coherent, but she was very pale. Then, air raid warden volunteers came by to hear commotion. They pushed through them, and Penelope fainted again. "Oh God, someone do something!" Jane cried out. One of them picked Penelope up and another rescue worker approached to Daniel. The air raid warden volunteer pulled him away from Grandpa Paul's body and covered Daniel's eyes.
